boxingcardmanwhether or not the card is blank-backed. Pricing is another matter. A T206 with back damage will be punished severely in the marketplace but from what I've seen, the prices on Exhibits and Zeenuts aren't affected all that much by minor back issues because many collectors don't care and others are just happy to find the cards in any grade.
When I saw this post initially, I thought it was about how to grade a card with a printing defect. That is one I've not had a good answer for. If the card is blank-backed I'd think an "A" would be the only fair thing but I've seen the services grade them numerically at better than a 1.
